Скачать или смотреть Surfing for wheelchair bound athletes

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (WKRC) -- Dozens of physically challenged surfers were able to hit the waves the weekend of August 21, with a little help from their friends. The fun was due to a group called "Life Rolls On." Twenty volunteers assisted each wheelchair bound athlete at Huntington Beach, California. Thanks to those volunteers the athletes were able to spend 25 minutes in the water. The founder of the group was a top surfer when he broke his back. He said he wanted to get back in the water himself. Jesse Billauer, founder of Life Rolls On, said, The volunteers, they love to be able to give back. And they get super inspired and the adaptive athletes, they get that sense of freedom that they lost; that independence. It's a priceless experience. Life Rolls On does the surfing events 10 times a year. The event was supported by a maker of wheelchair accessible SUVs. Follow us on Twitter @Local12 and LIKE us on Facebook for updates!
